up the chores and then husked a basket of corn. Dad. plowed all the after noon. To-night Frank & I went down to the A.Y.P.A. and had a fairly good time. I got my hair cut and went down on my way home to see Aunty Alice she came home to-night. Frank met her at the train. It has been a raw windy day and is freezing hard to-night.
